Hiking in Hloduvik

The hiking trail between the coves Hloduvik and Haelavik crosses the very steep Mt Skalakambur, probably the steepest mountain trail of the country. It still is very clear, but looks rather uninviting. In a depression high up in the screes is a small lake with a discharge down the slope. Before the brink of the mountain is reached, low, sheer cliffs have to be climbed. On a fine day the view from the top of the mountain of the surrounding coves is excellent.
